Dwarf Fruit Trees 
(Descriptions: Same as standard fruits previous page) 
When ordinary varieties of fruit are grafted on special 
dwarfing stocks, the result is a tree whose fruit is as 
large or larger than ordinary, but which never grows 
very large—perhaps ultimately 10 to 15 feet. 
The advantages are: First, a dwarf can be sprayed, pruned ‘and 
picked by hand without ladders or equipment. Second, the tree 
bears much earlier in life, in its third or fourth year, and carries 
unbelievable loads of large fruit. 
Planting is the same as any deciduous tree. Soil should be richer 
- than for standard fruits and a mulch is very helpful.

HARDY NUT-TREES 
There are good nuts to be grown in the north. Chest- 
nuts from seed are young, heavy bearers. The grafted 
Walnuts are hardier and also bear heavily and young. 
These two together are the most practical nuts for the 
north. 
PLANTING and CARE 
The first two years mulch well with hay or straw. Water 
if drought comes. Keep all side buds from developing 
in useless low branches (below 7 feet). Do not plant 
deeper than they were in nursery. 
Grafted Black Walnuts 
One of our most beautiful native trees, growing well in 
any fertile well drained soil. The grafted sorts bear their 
first nuts commonly in the third to fifth year. Zone IV. 
Ohio—Fine quality nut, fairly fast growth, fairly easy to 
open. 
Stabler meat falls out easily in halves or one piece and 
is of a rich mellow flavor. A fine spreading specimen. 
Thomas is a rapid-growing tree. The meat is attractive 
and tasty, but does not crack as easily as the Stabler.

BLIGHT RESISTANT CHESTNUTS 
Chinese Chestnut (Castaneo mollissima). Similar to the 
American in flavor (sweet). It is inured to the Chestnut 
blight. Lives and bears in Zone V. Bears very young. 
Because of cross pollenizing needs, we will not sell less 
than 3 trees:
